Beating the heat in Perth
Perth is currently experiencing a bit of a heat wave; temperatures have been consistently above 40 for about the last week.
January 26th was Australia Day (Also know as Survival Day, Invasion Day, or Dominion Day, as it celebrates not the independence or confederation of Australia but the arrival of the "first fleet"). It was another scorcher of a day, reaching about 45 degrees. I spent the afternoon on the beach with a group of friends, and as the evening progressed large storm clouds rolled in to the north and east. After dark we got to see a spectacular light show of the Australia Day fireworks combined with a distant lightning storm. It was spectacular to see, but unfortunately I was unable to get any pictures.
